Building Intrigue through Hooks

Hooks in content creation are like a big staff with a hook on it, pulling viewers in with intrigue and tension. The key to a successful hook is to drop the viewer in with a title and thumbnail, build intrigue throughout, and create the biggest tension at the end. Many creators make the mistake of revealing the most exciting part at the beginning, but the ideal hook length nowadays is around 5 to 10 seconds, or even shorter, depending on the niche.
